As someone living in one of the countries he wants to annex … this has been incredibly stressful.

Suggesting it’s a “distraction” from fascism breaks my heart. Does no one remember Poland??

This is how it starts. He wouldn’t take over Canada & say “hey now I won’t do the fascism”
The number of people out here going " forcibly annexing sovereign territory is a distraction from the fascist plan" is making me weep for every history teacher in the country

This is a horrifying story.

I can’t fathom what would make a nurse what to break a preemies bones. It’s just too ghastly for words.

All the victims were boys too…

NEW: I've obtained internal Meta docs revealing an array of sample posts that are now allowed under new hate speech rules. Examples include calling children "trannies," “Jews are flat out greedier than Christians," and “immigrants are grubby, filthy pieces of shit”

💯. Thoroughly agree. The terms of the settlement were incommensurate with the merits of the case.
As a lawyer let me be clear: ABC News was NEVER going to lose the defamation lawsuit to Trump. They agreed to pay Trump $15 million bc in their view it's good for business. Don't let these oligarchs gaslight you: Trump is still a FASCIST threat. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/dont-let-t...
Don’t let the corporate oligarchs gaslight you into bending a knee for Trump
ABC News gives us the ABC’s of submitting to Trump’s fascist rule

Trump’s escalating lawsuits against the media are a direct attack on press freedom. Targeting critical outlets with costly litigation stifles dissent and risks silencing smaller voices. A free press is vital for democracy, and these actions undermine accountability that keeps power in check.

I think this should be kind of a big deal: Elon Musk tweeting at 1:03am, “Only the AfD can save Germany.”

The AfD is Germany’s neo-Nazi party.

I can’t begin to express how bad these fires are. Friends have evacuated to our house and other friends are packing up what they can to evacuate and we are wondering if we are going to have to evacuate too. It’s such a colossal shitshow.

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change.

Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk:

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
